Topic: Macro Images with 5D MkIII (Read 7680 times)

I've seen a few macro images taken with the 5D MkIII and a few lens specific topics, but I haven't seen a general macro topic purely with the MkIII, so I thought I'd start one.I'm finding manual focus easier than I expected and I can manage at least as well as with the MkII and much better than the 7D. I am also getting clean images as high as ISO 6400 with correct exposure. After some initial test shots, I'm now beginning to experiment with different compositions, despite the windy weather.

Here is one from the 5D3 that wasn't even taken with a macro lens. Good example of the cropping ability of this camera. This is about 1/12 of the actual frame shot. I shot it with my 100-400L at 375mm, ISO 640, f/5.6 @ 1/500 second.

A on the spur of the moment shot next to a swimming pool in Indian Wells CA. Shot with a 5d mkiii and 100mm 2.8 L IS macro. Its been cropped more than I would like just to see if it would hold up. He was a bit skittish so I couldn't get in the best position.

That is what I am saying, my 70-200mm produces images that typical people call Macro, and that is taking it down to a 1/8 or smaller crop! Very fun camera thus far. Running a AFMA on some lenses today to see if it helps any more, which would be amazing.
